    Hooklinks again

    I always start off long, then if i need to, i can easily shorten it. Whereas, if i started off short, and wanted something longer, i would have to tie a new one. :)

    Meat cutters

    My other thinking is, what would look the more natural, every cube sinking at the same rate, or, the odd couple ( the rounded corner bits ) sinking quicker or slower. Just a thought. 🤷‍♂️
